Albino Trans-Pecos Ratsnakes Hatched!!!

dustyrhoads Sep 06, 2007 06:34 PM

Here's one of the nice husky little albino subocs that hatched today. From a possible Het female too!!! Nothing beats breeding some possible hets and seeing pink noses pipping out of eggs 10 weeks later!

The clutch was kept at 84 - 86 degrees F and hatched over a span of 68 - 70 days incubation period.

The baby in this photo is only minutes old...I went to the Post Office at 2:00 and this snake was still resting inside the egg in the typical hatchling position. I got back around 2:30 and it was crawling around the incubator.

Cheers! (And hope to see some of you at Anaheim!)

Terrific clutch.

Does the high temp. produce more of one sex as opposed to 81 degrees? Or does it just speed up the hatching process?

Am I mistaken in thinking I've read somewhere that all albino subocs are missing a head scale?

Yours doesn't look like it's missing any.

Beautiful snake!
